They were received in a most gracious manner, and had all the honour of kiffing her majefty's hand. They afterwards addreffed the princess dowager of Wales, and were most graciously received.

The Prices of Places for feeing the Coronation, of the feveral Kings and Queens, from William the Conqueror, down to George II. according to Stow, Speed, and other Antiquarians. THE price of a good place at the coro nation of the Conqueror, was a blank; and I do not find that it was raised at that of his fon William Rufus. At Henry I. it was a crocard; and at Stephen's and Henry II. a pollard. At Richard's, and king John's, who was crowned frequently, it was a fufkin; and rofe at Henry III. to a dodkin. In the reign of Edward, the coin begins to be more intelligible, and we find that for feeing his coronation a Qwas given, or the half of a ferling, or farthing; which is the fourth part of a ferling or penny. At Edward II. it was a farthing, and at his fon's Edward III. a balf-penny, which was very well given. In Richard the IId's thoughtless reign, it was a penny, and continued the fame at that of Henry IV. At Henry V. it was two-pennys, or the half of a grous or great; and the fame at that of Henry VI. though, during his time, coronations were fo frequent, that the price was brought back to the penny or balf-penny, and fometimes they were feen for nothing. At Edward IV. it was again the half-groat; nor do we find it raised at thofe of Edward V. Richard III. or Henry VII. At that of Henry VIII. it was the whole groat, or grous; nor was it altered at thofe of Edward VI. and queen Mary 3 but at queen Elizabeth's was a teflon or tefler. At thofe of James I. and Charles I. a fhilling was given; which was advanced to half a crown at those of Charles II. and James II. At king William's and queen Anne's it was a crown; and at George I. was seen by many for the fame price. At George II. I find tome gave half a guinea, which might be rec. koned a reasonable price at prefent, as there is no great difference in the value of money fince that time: but however, as that coronation was many years ago, and as there is a most pleasing prospect of many happy years paffing before there is another, a guinea feems to be a fair fum for the gratifying a man's curiosxy upon this occafion; that we ought not to exceed two for a woman's; even though a wife, daughter, or (weetheart, The |
